Draco had spent all afternoon perfecting his duplication spell. Finally, about an hour or so before the voting was to begin Draco had duplicating down to an art.
He walked over to the table near his bed and sat his wand on it. Draco closed his eyes and placed his hands over his wand, "Incantum Duplicadem." He chanted repeatedly. After the fourth chorus of this mantra another wand appeared next to his.
He picked up the wand just to test it. Draco ran to the bedroom door with a padlock in hand, he clasped the padlock tightly onto the knob, "Alohamora." With that the lock fell off the door and landed with a light thud on the carpet.
A devious smile played at Draco's mouth. As a Malfoy he was used to getting everything he wanted. Actually it would've been more unsettling to him if his plan hadn't worked so well.
Tonight, Draco thought, Granger's going to be in for a treat.

Hermione lay on her bed, engulfed in her very own version of Ruby Slippers. She was up to the part where Dorothy, well no, not Dorothy, Hermione and the Tin Man the Lion and The Scarecrow were in the enchanted forest.
Somebody jumped onto her bed next to her, Hermione looked up, "Oh, hello Ginny."
"What're you reading?" Ginny glanced at the book in Hermione's hands, "Why Hermione, that's you in that book." The young girl seemed quite amazed by this.
Hermione chuckled, "Yes, yes it is."
"Where in the world did you get that?"
Hermione looked a little confused, "It was a present. You act as if you've never seen one of these before. Aren't they completely common around here?"
Ginny shook her head, "I've heard of them, but they cost a tremendous amount of money."
Hermione was a tad flabbergasted. She'd never had a secret admirer, let alone one that desired to spend a small fortune on her.
"Who gave it to you?" Ginny asked with the curiosity of a four year old.
"I haven't the slightest. It was sitting on the common room table for me. There's an inscription, the name is completely blurred."
Hermione flipped to the title page to show Ginny, "Hermione!" The younger girl gasped, "You've got yourself a secret admirer!"
"If they gave me something this nice, wouldn't they want me to know who its from?" Hermione was completely puzzled.
Ginny laughed, "That defeats the whole purpose of the 'secret' part." She stated this as if it were the simplest logic in the world, "I have to go and put on my red dress robes for tonight. Who knows though Hermione, it could be the man of your dreams." Ginny said the last part rather whimsically, which made Hermione think that maybe Ginny knew who it was from. She shrugged it off.
Hermione didn't feel like getting dressed up for the Valentines feast. This whole 'romance' thing just really didn't feel right to her.
Despite her want to change into jim-jams and go to bed, Hermione got up off her bed and began to rifle through her truck in search of something red.

Snape had just entered the common room to announce that voting had begun. All the Slytherins rushed out of the portal before Snape could finish the announcement.
Draco was one of the first ones out. He'd concealed all of his duplicated wands in his robes. Rather cleverly he liked to think.
Seeing as how Draco tripped and shoved all of his Slytherin crew, he was the first to the ballots. Draco went inside of the small room and tightly shut the door. He grabbed his first wand and stated, "Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy." He then moved his wand in a downward motion, somewhat mocking a band director, and picked up his next wand. He repeated the whole process with all of the one hundred-something wands he'd duplicated.
When Draco finally exited the voting booth it was almost time for the feast.
"Were you in there that long voting for us?" Pansy asked, sneaking up behind Draco, completely catching him off guard.
"Yeah, that's it." Draco grinned, hoping that she'd spread the word so that his date with Granger would look like a set up. He walked back to his dorm to get dressed, leaving a very smitten Pansy in his wake.
* * *
The feast had been going surprisingly well for Hermione. She'd ended up sitting next to Ron and Harry as usual.
"Do you think I should do it?" Harry asked for about the seventh time that night, and again referring to the Cho Chang situation.
Hermione was so sick of hearing about she turned to him and said, "Look Harry, you may stand a chance with this girl but how will you ever know if you don't let it out that you like her? I mean she may think you do but how can she be sure?"
"Hermione's right Harry." Ron added while he was taking a bite of his heart-shaped cupcake and singing sprinkles.
"I mean just-" Hermione was cut of by Dumbledor's rising voice.
"Boys and girls. I'm standing up here tonight to announce to you the winner of the first annual favored couple competition. You all had your chance to vote this afternoon before classes, and now I shall read your pick." Haggrid handed Dumbledor a slip of parchment.
A look of surprise overwhelmed the headmaster, one that was too hard for him to mask, "Well it seems that your winners for this years favored couple contest are Mr. Draco Malfoy," there was a dramatic pause, in that moment Pansy looked up hopefully and the rest of the Slytherin table could only stare at their comrade, "and Miss Hermione Granger."
Every jaw in the entire room dropped, but no ones nearly as low as Hermione's.
